Happy Friday and welcome to Tales From the Tour, an all new collaboration with my husband and business partner Rick Bell of Alain Pinel Realtors. I thought it would be fun to mix thing up twice a month here on AskSuzanneBell.com by sharing a peek into life within Silicon Valley, one of the most sought after real estate markets in the country. I invite you to buckle up and join us, as we tour a few new-to-market homes on the Friday Los Altos/Los Altos Hills Broker Tour. 

So what is Broker’s Tour?

Broker’s Tour is a time when sellers make it easy for real estate agents to preview properties for the buyers prior to the open house weekend without making prior arrangements with sellers. A brokers tour is limited to real estate agents.

Before we get rolling, our first stop of the morning is always one of our local coffee shops; today’s pick is Voyager du Temps, home of the best Almond Croissant and Pumpkin Spice Latte in town!

Climb Aboard, Buckle Up and Click Video Below!

What I Wore

No post on AskSuzanneBell is complete without talking about style. With our Indian Summer, lightweight layering is key. Under this bold print bell sleeve linen jacket is a black tank and tulip skirt; both made of a comfortable stretchy knit to make getting in and out of the car on tour easy. I love how matching separates can give the look of a dress but are much more versatile. The red suede maryjanes add a pop of color and the low block heel insures my feet are not in pain after a morning of previewing homes.

Outfit Deets

Tulip Hem Skirt, Opening Ceremony | Layer Tank, Theory | Linen Bell Sleeve Jacket, Halogen @Nordstrom Rack | Red Suede ‘Brooke’ MaryJanes, Rebecca Minkoff (current) |’Sloane’ Necklace, SLATE (current) | Silver Hoop Earrings, Argento Vivo

      You are so observant! You are the first to mention the “realtor” booties! I was waiting for someone to pick up on those beauties! And yes, when I can’t think of what to wear, black and white is always a win! Thanks for stopping by, happy to see you here!

Instagram post 2157752609442790592_1440303525 What’s your go-to weekend style?

Come Friday, I’m all about relaxed jeans, flip flops and a soft cozy cardigan. And casual doesn’t need to be sloppy. You can easily elevate your casual looks by simply adding a few accessories like a leopard calf hair belt, a statement bag, sunnies or hair accessories.

Speaking of elevating, today’s topic on the blog includes a discussion on 5 easy pieces that will update what you already own, taking your looks this fall from meh to ✨fabulous✨!Link in bio to today’s all new #stylepost on the blog 🔝

Instagram post 2143199228003016189_1440303525 Shirtdress❤️ You gotta love a #shirtdress for its comfort and versatility 👗heck, I even wear mine with pants! I have a few in my wardrobe, but if you asked me which are my top two, it’d be the black one I’m wearing today from #bessandgeorgeclothing - the other would be my denim one.

What pieces do you consider to be wardrobe workhorses in your closet?

Instagram post 2142519460349715239_1440303525 “Dance for yourself. If someone understands, good. If not, no matter. Go right on doing what interests you, and do it until it stops interesting you.” – Louis Horst

Same goes for fashion...wear what you love, who cares what anyone else thinks? You weren’t getting dressed for them anyway 😜

I feel like a boho princess every time I wear this #dodobarordress ...outfit details, including deets on my clip on hair extension 🤔 can be found on today’s edition of #fridayfavorites #ontheblog 🔝 link in bio🔝

Do you have an outfit, look or accessory that makes you want to dance whenever you wear it? Do tell! I’d love to know!

It may be officially fall, but you’d never know out in these parts 🥵

#StyleTip : try wearing wear-now silhouettes in fall colors and heavier accessories for a transitional look. 
Outfit Deets:
Dress #zeromariacornejo 
#snakeskin mules #Nordstrom
Necklace: vintage for the ladies over at the #thriftedchicstylechallenge 
Sunnies: Kate Spade

How do you transition to #fallstyle when the weather is not playing along?
